Mah knee meks da velt go roundt!

It only took until the calendar year after next, and for some reason Open And Accountable Williams Government didn't issue a press release to draw any attention to the fact, and, unlike the tabular format of previous years, it's in a harder-to-use-and-number-crunch PDF format, but, political financing data has finally been released... for the year 2006!

(Paul, just because the legislation gives you nine months, don't mean you gotta take nine months. Openness! Accountability!)

There's tons and tonnes of HappyFun to be had with the report, but for now, a quick measure of how passionately the then-sitting MHAs felt about their own causes. The table below shows how much each gave to their parties, and in how many separate donations.

As it was a transition year, you will notice both recent NDP MHAs for Signal Hill-Quidi Vidi are represented, Jack Harris especially well so.

The very keenly-eyed will notice two names missing.
